According to Navajo mythology, the Milky Way was created by the mischievous behavior of the god, Coyote. When the world was created, the Holy People gathered around Black God to place the stars in the sky. Coyote grew annoyed at the slowness of this process.In his anger, he chose to place a red star, called Ma'iio, in the south. Ma'iio means 'the one who roams'. This star symbolizes Coyote and appears for only a short time during the year. To the Navajo, it is a symbol of trouble. Coyote continued to be displeased with the Holy People's progress and threw the bag of stars over his head, forming the Milky Way. Coyote In Eden God created all things in an idealistic way. God created Earth. God's brother, Coyote, walked up next to him on Earth. "Looks good, God." God created all of the plants, and animals. "Looks good, God." After a week, God got tired and decided to create another world. God was bored, so he left. Coyote stayed. Coyote noticed that Earth was boring. The land had no beautiful mountains or hills. It was flat. There were no waves. The sea was still. Every tree and plant grew in military rows. They gave only oranges and carrots. All of the animals were dumb, and there were none such as he and his brother, God. There was nothing to challenge these dumb animals because everything was perfect. They stayed the same. Coyote got an idea. I will fix it. Coyote stomped on the ground and made the mountains and hills. Coyote splashed in the water and created falls, waves, and rain. Coyote threw the seeds of all the plants into the sky so that they would mix together. And Coyote made the animals fight and die. He created humans. These humans became smart and soon discovered Coyote. They blamed him for earthquakes, floods, brush fires, and tornados. They said he was bad. God came back to see Earth again. "What have you done Coyote?" Coyote smiled. Coyote Steals Fire
Back then, only God knew how to make fire. He would sit in the grey clouds and throw lightning down and burn things. Humans were scared of him and stayed away from his fire. Fire hurt. One evening, God sent down a bolt and set Coyote's tail on fire. "Damn you, God. I hate your jokes." Coyote wanted to get him back. He created a mound of dry sticks that looked just like a dog. The biggest stick looked like his tail. God looked down from way up. He laughed and threw a bolt. The entire stack of dog-looking sticks caught on fire. "Oh, no. I killed Coyote!" Coyote waited for God to leave. Coyote Man took the stick that looked like the tail and brought it to human's camp. "Take this fire and heal or kill each other with it. I don't care. God does not want you to have it. This is my revenge." The woman took the fire and thanked Coyote Man. God saw fire in human's camp and they were not burning to death. "Coyote!" God screamed. He has been trying to kill Coyote every since. Coyote laughed. ------------------ "Heaven doesn't want me and Hell is afraid I'll take over and start a rehab for the damned!" ~Judgement Must Be Balanced With Compassion~ ~Do Not Seek Wealth From The Suffering, Or The Dire Needs Of Others~ ~Assumption Is The Bane Of Understanding~ ~ if you keep doing what you did, you'll keep getting what you got.~ Everything changes.
